Your home away from home will be a quiet location overlooking the Gulf of Orosei.  Our host, Renata, is "Semplicità e buon gusto" (simplicity and good taste). The villa used to be a typical noble residence of the Baronie region, formerly called "Villa Campana".  In 1990 the house was transformed into a charming hotel.  Renata and her team ensure that you will enjoy a lovely retreat holiday by the sea.  Located in a private park, it has a swimming pool and lots of green areas. The sea is 100 meters away, just a few minutes on foot. Other beaches are 200 meters away.  From the terrace, you have a wonderful view of the sea, one of the most beautiful stretches of coast in eastern Sardinia, where you can enjoy your breakfast and dinner.  Free WIFI and parking available.

  THE PRACTICE:

The focus of this retreat is the practice of the Ashtanga Yoga method as taught in Mysore, South India by R. Sharath Jois. Each morning we will start the day with Meditation and Pranayama followed by the Ashtanga Yoga practice, Mysore style Ashtanga (self-practice), which is the traditional way of learning Ashtanga.  Mysore classes mean the student practices at their own pace and progress through the asanas as and when they are ready. The teacher will go around the class offering one-on-one attention to each student and adjust when necessary. You need to know at least the Sun Salutations and the standing postures of Primary Series before coming to the retreat.

The classes are suitable for all levels, focusing on both practice and philosophy. Classes are taught in English. Please bring your own yoga mat and practice towels/rugs, and yoga blocks if you use them in your practice. 

​

Mouna, or Silence, will be practiced daily until Breakfast.

​

In the afternoons you will have daily Yin Yoga class with Thina.  There will also be an hour of Technique/Alignment class with Bela twice in the week as well as a Philosophy talk twice in the week.

This retreat is designed to take you deeper into your practice as we move into stillness, become more aware, more sensitive, and more receptive to the beauty in our lives.  Enjoy nature, clean air and starry nights to recharge from your busy daily life.
